What else? (from Myspace blog)

Computer is back, which is very good. AGU went smoothly, though 5.5 days was way too long to be thinking about science. Cripes! I was going crazy by the end. Though I spent most of the last day, when not in my research groups boring-ass meeting, at my brother and sister-in-laws (whoa). There's a bike shop near there that's expensive and single-speeded out, but it's so hot. Total rainbow of velocity deep-Vs in stock!

I did this poster presentation, very middle school science fair if it matters at all, and it went for ever (or 1:40 to 5:30, whichever comes first). I got a beer (free at 4) at about 4, and then was told that it was impressive that I was keeping up my enthusiasm in explaining my poster time after after. Thank you Mr. alcohol. Then, as I'm tearing down at 5:30, my advisor strolls up, completely missing my session. It's so very classic.
Back to WV soon, though a fair amount of time will be spent in Pittsburgh because a certain sister is graduating from college, which tends to be a bit of a big deal. Way to keep up the average college attendance length Headleys! Now to super-extend that with graduate school...
I need to get some pictures from the last cross race. I'm interested in seeing how a) muddy b) hurting and c) pissed-off I look in them. I'd also love the podium shot. Bronze cow bell!
